student loan call

They emailed me a list of my school tuition and fed loans.  When I requested them to mail me certified information they refused and pulled dates out of the air stating they had mailed me in the past and I  didn't reply.  Well....that's because I never received anything in the mail from them.  I almost put my cc info in an email to them but stopped after doing a bit of research.

Same thing happened to me yesterday.  With Everest being the school. I almost gave in.  I haven't received any information on outstanding monies owed to Everest so I am going to contact them directly.

NEVER put your credit card or debit card or bank account information in ANY email.

Email is not secure and can be intercepted anywhere along the path it takes to get to the recipient !!

The problem when dealing with deceptive, unfair, and exploitative debt collection tactics is you seldom know the reason or to whom you're actually talking to. Deceptive excuses can fall under calling relatives, friends, and others. Everest http://www.everest.edu/locations/map but they do use ECMC http://www.everest.edu/why/campus_life/financial_aid known for less than professional or ethical behavior shown their clients http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/02/us/loan-mon ... -debt.html?_r=0

I received a call from this company tonight as well saying they needed to talked me about a matter in my county court.  I called back after hours and left a message. After reading all of these comments I will make sure I don't talk to them.

Called the original place of debt.  They say they sent me an email about an over due debt. To which I say I never got. Then she proceeded to tell me when it was emailed and and to what email address.  Ok so I tell her never got it. That was the only way the original debtor try to contact me for the past due balance that I forgot about.  Then proceeded to tell me the this company William R actually bought the debt and I now longer owe the school.   Now the new place sent me a validation email so they say but I thought it had to be mailed a hard copy for it to be legal?  They call every so often but I don't answer.

Yes are correct that their debt validation letter needs to be sent to you via the postal service.  Email, FAX, phone calls do not meet the requirement.  If they refuse to mail it to you, that is a big red flag that they are not on the up and up.

I almost just fell for the same scam!!! Same company!! The college network.
